Call of Duty on PS Vita a “Game Changer,” Due This Fall
It was recently revealed that the Vita would be getting support from some huge franchises, popular shooter Call of Duty being among them. In an interview with GameTrailers.com, Senior Vice President of PlayStation Brand Marketing Guy Longworth dropped an interesting news bit for series fans, saying that Vita’s first Call is currently expected to arrive this fall. They should call it Fall of Duty. And that right there is why I’m not the Senior Vice President of PlayStation Brand Marketing.
Naturally, as it’s the man’s job to point out the positives and create some hype, he has high expectations, calling the upcoming title a real “game-changer.” Whether he just means a fun game or he’s actually alluding to some Vita-specific features spicing things up was sadly not specified.
We’ve seen all kinds of innovations come from the Vita, as the machine already houses — and enhances — beloved franchises like Lumines, Uncharted, Katamari Damacy, and WipEout. It’s done all that in its first couple of months of existence, so it certainly has potential for big things in the future. What do you think things like augmented reality, the rear touch pad, and other Vita features could do for Call of Duty?

Now we just need Battlefield. That would be awesome.
I will seriously buy a Vita right now if I can play BF3 with it.
hah, and they’ll limit it to 10 people in a game… and no one will get the objectives because all 10 people will be in the air.
You can already play BF3 on this thing with remote play, but i think it needs custom firmware.
I would really like to see some of the things cut from the series return like classic deathmatch with weapon pickups(this was fun in call of duty 2), touchscreen controls for things like UAV’s touch an area of the screen and the UAV will hover over that particular area, the same could be done for overhead missile strikes like the predator.
There’s a lot of potential but there’s really no sense getting our hopes up because it will more than likely be a port of whatever comes out this fall with some minor touchscreen capabilities added in, I hope i’m wrong but we know Activision….
I was told that the PSVita CoD game will be Black Ops specifically for the Vita. I would love to see the MP bots gameplay that was in the first Blops game. It would help when you don’t have access to the internet.
Also, using the touch screen for a melee kill would be cool.
Depends really, are Activision really going to use it in the same way other companies do. I have faith that the Bioshock for the Vita is going to be as unique and original as they say it is but when it comes to Activision and Call Of Duty I’m just not sure. I know I constantly hate on the COD Franchise but if they honestly bring something good to the Vita then I won’t go against it for the sake of saying I haven’t bought a COD Game.
I think if COD Vita can find a way to use the Vita features in a way that works alongside the gameplay then it could work. Also I really hope Battlefield isn’t released on the Vita now, I don’t want another COD Vs Battlefield flame war. The first one was annoying enough. Also I actually feel the same with Assassin’s Creed for the Vita, I wouldn’t put it push Ubisoft to release a port of AC3, if it was a new title I’d get both. (I admit I’m a sucker for Assassin’s Creed)
A game changer? A total game changer?! Mah god! It might be as incredibly game changing as their new “pay us for a subscription to see your stats and be able to get DLC you should be able to buy separately” model! Or, maybe they’re adding new guns that are really the same as the old guns but with slight modifications to basic stats like accuracy and fire power! Or holy crap, maybe they figured out a new way to make us pay for old maps we already own for a previous CoD for the fifth time in a row! The possibilities are endless!
That would do better than on console, because it’s the kind of game with boring story and arcade gameplay!
Hopefully this game allows you to play against regular console players…
